Now that I'm released from the Weaver Guild Quest, I can concentrate on the Strolenati Guild Quest. One question, though:I somehow vaguely remember that the requirements for upvoted comments and upvotes on different author count over a 30 day period in which case I already fulfill these requirements according to the Quest Logging box on my Author profile (I know that's for past Quests rather than Guild Quests), is this true? Or do I have to start again on those two requirements (I mean, the upvotes on different authors weren't part of the Weaver Guild Quest, I usually do it anyway. However, the upvoted comments I got recently are tied to user submitted ideas I put in for the Weaver Guild)

That stat box in your profile is just a running tally that has no knowledge of what quests you embark on. Mark down the numbers now that you start at and increment from there as they are not a true representation for this quest. Once you start a new quest, everything starts at 0 and nothing counts except what comes after.

The Weavers Guild is in your past. It is a distant memory and matters not. You are pledged to the Strolenati now and all that you were and all that you did is meaningless to the Strolenites. Earn your stripes anew by all original content, votes and upvotes. Your tracking starts now. Muahahahahaha

(Of course the magic sub you just submitted counts. I will look and comment tomorrow. Very late day for me and have just enough time to do a couple maintenance tasks and I am crashing!)

Ah, how I have come to love that sense of accomplishment and victory that I get when I pull the wool over the eyes of a clever player character. What DM Triumphs have you had?

Some of mine:1. Finally killing an incredibly powerful, lucky, annoying player's character.2. Finally achieving a TPK (Total Party Kill)3. Finally achieving a TPK using only traps4. Finally working out how to make it so that d**n wizard doesn't steal the spotlight all the d**n time.

Well, I like the bearded folks all right but can't picture myself as one of them. The only thing that I have in common with the dwarves is my height but I just can't picture myself as a bearded female dwarve. For that matter, I can't picture myself as any other fantasy races, either. Maybe I'm just too entrenched in my human ways hehe.

There's nothing wrong with being human, or having a preference to be such. I have a friend who constantly pesters me about being "boring" because I prefer to play humans, but I find there to be infinitely more variety within humans than with other races.

Worry yourself not with the petty Dwarf playgroup! They will fall as the others will. True absolution may only be found within the folds of the Necromantic cult! Come, join us and unleash your true potential!

I think that Moonlake has shown unquestionably good taste by first aligning herself with the Weavers, undisputed shadow masters of the Citadel. Ally yourself with the Strolenati if you must -- for they have forged many the works upon which the Weavers build -- but take care before aligning yourself with the bearded ones or with the death-lovers. They would drown us all in a sea of ale and blood.

Hah. Cartography is where its at. How else would the necromancers find the site of the great burial mounds, filled with thousands of corpses? How else would the dwarves figure out how to navigate their mines? How else would the weavers weave? Face facts, people. The cartographers are the indisputable overlords of this citadel. Especially since most need a map to find the Great Hall and to get back to their rooms.

Align with the cartographers, and we will not only provide a free set of mapping supplies, but also the maps of every necromantic, dwarven, of weaving base in the entire world.

Hmmm.... It's funny how this thread is becoming an advertising run by nearly all the guilds. Well, guys, I'm honoured by the attention but *coughs and whispers* Mathom's grasp is strong on this particular undertaking.

No, I do mean to say Mathom's grasp is strong as in it will be taking me ages to update the Fengshui sub into completed status i.e. I will finish the Strolenati Quest eventually but it will be taking me quite some time (and therefore, it's too early to think abt embarking on another Guild quest). btw, in case you didn't revisit the Fengshui sub, I made a note there that I will be PMing everyone interested (you and a few others) when it's more or less done.

At the rate I'm going, I think I'll just get the Combo spell done, post up two images so people can better understand the concepts and then call it a day. Else, seriously Mathom will get this in his clutches and I will never be able to finish.

*A robed form coalesces from the shadows, it's arrival accompanied by mocking laughter*

"Congratulations, young weaver. Perhaps now that you have finished playing with your needles and thread you may wish to take on a more... fulfilling role. The necromantic cult sees potential in you; your services would be most valuable in our efforts. Think about it - and we shall be waiting."

*As abruptly as the figure appeared, the robed form melts back into the shadow*
